Chapter 112 Rumors Spread

The fact that Ye Shi was promoted to an eight-star martial artist and came out of seclusion shocked many people.

Although both of them have eighth-level qualifications, there is still a gap between them. Originally, Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu were both five-star martial artists. After Ye Shi retreated for more than half a month, he became an eight-star martial artist, which is better than Zhuang Yu.

Along with the news that Ye Shi was promoted to an eighth-level martial artist, all kinds of rumors about Ye Shi spread like wildfire.

For example, the Ye family where Ye Shi was born is now in a difficult situation, but Ye Shi ignores it.

For example, Ye Shi's father Ye Xun is now impoverished, but Ye Shi lives a life of debauchery and doesn't care at all.

For example, when Ye Xun was going to beg, Ye Shi was so cruel that he turned a blind eye.

…………

Ye Shi's qualifications are outstanding, and he has an all-round fiancé like Muchen. Countless people are jealous of him. Therefore, when negative news about Ye Shi comes out, everyone knows it at the first time.

The news was spread by a few young men from Zhuang Yu's side. Those people were humiliated by Ye Shi in public that day and could not swallow this humiliation, so they spread news that was unfavorable to Ye Shi everywhere.

In the cafeteria, Ye Shi was gnawing on a chicken leg viciously. From time to time, there were inquiring glances from all around, directed at Ye Shi.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's angry expression and said helplessly: "The innocent will be innocent. Those rumors are nonsense. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry about the rumors. I'm happy that Ye Xun is begging." Ye Shi curled his lips.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's angry expression and smiled helplessly.

"Then why are you angry?" Mu Chen asked.

"It's all because of that guy Zhuang Yu. That little bitch blocked my way, causing me to accidentally break the academy's stone tablet. I have to pay a compensation of 100,000 yuan." Ye Shi said gritting his teeth.

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows and thought: The stone tablet was shattered into pieces. Could it be that Ye Shi was careless?

"One hundred thousand yuan worth of stones, didn't you bargain down to eighty thousand?" Mu Chen comforted.

"Eighty thousand is still a lot!" Ye Shi said disapprovingly.

"It's only 80,000 yuan. It's not even worth half a talisman. Just take it easy and think of it as a way to avoid disaster." Mu Chen said nonchalantly.

"Master said that the price of the Flame Talisman has dropped, so we should be frugal." Ye Shi said solemnly.

Mu Chen said disapprovingly: "Spend it, it's okay. Yuanshi is only useful if you earn it. People who know how to spend it can earn it. You will have no future if you just save it." He expected the price of the Flame Talisman to drop. Although the price has dropped, it is still more than enough to make a living.

"That stone pillar is too fragile. I didn't even use any strength." Ye Shi said indignantly.

Mu Chen held his forehead and said helplessly: "...Okay, don't talk about that stone pillar anymore. It's already broken."

"Mu Chen, do you think Ye Xun will really become a beggar?" Ye Shi asked with eyes wide open and full of curiosity.

No matter what, Ye Xun is still the head of the Ye family. He has always lived a life of luxury. Ye Xun attaches great importance to face and will never beg unless he is completely penniless.

Mu Chen heard that Ye Xun sold the Ye family's ancestral martial arts for more than one million.

Martial arts are the foundation of a family's survival. If Ye He knew that Ye Xun had sold the Ye family's ancestral martial arts, he might be so angry that he would come back to life.

"Maybe." Mu Chen said lightly.

A malicious glint flashed in Ye Shi's eyes. "That old guy is so concerned about his reputation. It would be very interesting if he went begging."

"He is so fat. If he goes begging, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to him." Mu Chen said with a smile.

When Ye Shi heard Mu Chen's words, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you full?" Mu Chen asked Ye Shi.

Ye Shi looked at the bones he had vomited all over the table and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm full."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Shall I buy you another chicken?"

"I want two more pork elbows." Ye Shi said hurriedly.

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, nodded with amusement, and said, "Okay."

Mu Chen turned around and went to buy food. Ye Shi looked around boredly. Some people who were originally waiting to watch the show were disappointed when they saw that the relationship between Mu Chen and Ye Shi was not affected by the recent rumors at all.

Ye Rong looked at Mu Chen and Ye Shi, who were so close to each other, and felt depressed.

During this period, Ye Xun kept urging her to call Ye Shi out, and she was annoyed by Ye Xun's interference.

Ye Shi completely ignored her, and it was no use for Ye Xun to urge her again!

…………

Mu Yuanfeng sat aside with a gloomy face. Finally, he sighed lightly, wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it to the Holy Star Academy.

During this period of time, he had been avoiding Ye Xun, but when he went to the business today, he still ran into Ye Xun. Mu Yuanfeng guessed that Ye Xun must have been eyeing him for a long time, and he could not avoid him for the rest of his life.

After all, the Mu family and the Ye family are old friends, so Mu Yuanfeng couldn't be too harsh. Since they had already met, Mu Yuanfeng couldn't just turn a blind eye, so he had to be dragged by Ye Xun to the restaurant for a detailed discussion.

As soon as Ye Xun opened his mouth, he wanted to cancel the engagement between Ye Shi and Muchen, and also wanted to betroth Ye Rong to Muchen.

Mu Yuanfeng was almost laughed out of anger, and had to tell Ye Xun that Mu Chen had already decided on Ye Shi, and even if the two families had no engagement, Mu Chen would still marry Ye Shi.

Ye Xun had no choice but to settle for the second best and let Ye Rong be Muchen's mistress.

Mu Yuanfeng smiled helplessly. Ye Shi and Ye Rong had been at odds with each other for a long time. If both of them married his son, they would fight to the death every day.

Mu Yuanfeng immediately rejected Ye Xun.

Chen Da stood beside Mu Yuanfeng, his eyes dark and unclear.

Ye Xun is a jinx. The young master's life has just gotten a little better, and he comes to meddle with it.

Mu Yuanfeng rubbed his forehead. Ye Xun used to be a very face-conscious person, but now he was very shameless. When he was about to leave, Ye Xun grabbed him without any regard for his face and asked him to borrow money, and asked for one million. Mu Yuanfeng had no choice but to lend Ye Xun 100,000 yuan stones.

…………

Ye Xun's temporary residence.

"Mu Yuanfeng is too stingy. It's just one million yuan stones, but he kept making excuses and only lent me one hundred thousand. Is he treating a beggar like this?" Wang Li said with dissatisfaction.

Ye Xun had previously sold his ancestral martial arts skills and earned more than one million yuan in stones, so Wang Li also became wealthy.

There were countless dens of brothels in the imperial capital. As soon as the two entered, they were dazzled by the colorful life of the imperial capital.

Accustomed to a luxurious life, Wang Li felt that her future was bleak when she thought about her previous difficult days.

"That's right. Mu Yuanfeng is a third-level alchemist. He can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars just by refining a few pills, but he is so stingy." Ye Xun said with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, what's wrong with Rong'er? It would be nice for her to be his son's concubine. Why are you making excuses? Do you really think that we, Rong'er, can't get married?" Wang Li said dissatisfiedly.

Ye Rong is now a student at the Holy Star Academy, and there are countless people from the Ye family who have been seeking her help.

When Wang Li first learned about the engagement between the Ye and Mu families, she went out of her way to inquire about Muchen's news. However, the result of the inquiry disappointed Wang Li. In Wang Li's eyes, Muchen was nothing but trash.

At that time, Wang Li felt that if her daughter was really betrothed to Muchen, it would be like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Although Muchen has been transformed now, the bad image of Muchen in his early years has been deeply imprinted in Wang Li's mind, so much so that Wang Li always feels that her daughter is more than worthy of Muchen.

"Has Rong'er sent a letter? Has Ye Shi come out of confinement?" Ye Xun asked.

Wang Li nodded and said, "He's out of retreat." Furthermore, he's already advanced to an eight-star martial artist. Poor Rong'er, she's only a four-star martial artist. The gap between them is enormous.

Ye Xun stood up suddenly and said, "He's out of seclusion. If he's out, why doesn't he come to see me?"

Wang Li sighed helplessly and said, "Rong Ershu, he doesn't want to see you."

Ye Xun gritted his teeth and cursed in frustration, "This damn brat." If he had known that things would turn out like this, he should have strangled him to death.

Wang Li hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Ye Rong said in the letter that Ye Shi always says you are not his father, and that his biological father is not you."

Ye Xun's expression suddenly changed. In order to please Ye Shi's mother and father, Ye Xun had promised that he would treat Ye Shi as his own son. Ye Xun and Ye Shi's mother and father had agreed not to tell Ye Shi about his biological father. Over the years, Ye Shi had always regarded him as his biological father.

Helping others raise their sons is not a glorious thing. Ye Xun never told anyone about it. How did Ye Shi know? Ye Xun knew very well that when Ye Shi left the Ye family, he probably didn't know that he was not his biological father.

Could it be Chen Da? Qu Xinyang would not tell this to a servant like Chen Da, right?

Ye Xun's expression changed again and again. If Ye Shi already knew that he was not his father, then the bargaining chips in his hand would be greatly reduced.

Wang Li looked at Ye Xun's changing expression, her mind racing. Judging from Ye Xun's performance, could it be that Ye Shi was really not Ye Xun's son?

Ye Xun narrowed his eyes. Since Ye Shi already knew, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.

"Rong'er said that Ye Shi has been in seclusion for more than 20 days and has been promoted three stars to become an eight-star martial artist." Wang Li said.

Ye Xun gritted his teeth. It only took him more than twenty days to advance from a five-star martial artist to an eight-star martial artist. That little bastard Ye Shi was really amazing. It seemed to have taken him eight years to advance from a five-star martial artist to an eight-star martial artist. If it weren't for Qu Xinyang's blessing, it wouldn't have been so fast.

No one knows who Qu Xinyang's mistress is. Qu Xinyang's talent is average, but Ye Shi's talent is so good. It must be related to his mistress.

Qu Xinyang had been married to her for many years, but she still couldn't forget that man. She must have been an extraordinary person. What a pity! Even if he was extraordinary, he still abandoned Qu Xinyang.

"Rong'er said that before Ye Shi went into seclusion, he went to Mingyue Trading Company and took out a safe. It is said that someone had left it there more than ten years ago. Ye Rong said that Ye Shi's ability to become an eight-star martial artist in such a short time seems to be related to the things in the safe." Wang Li said lightly.

When Ye Xun heard what Wang Li said, he stood up suddenly and crushed the teacup next to him.

Ye Xun had a gloomy face. He had been serving Qu Xinyang for many years, but in the end, Qu Xinyang still had a trick up his sleeve.

Ye Shi lowered his head and thought to himself: Qu Xinyang is a liar, and Ye Shi is not much better. He pretends to be respectful to him and treats him as his biological father, but the truth is, he is holding back just like his mother and father. Ye Shi must have known about the safe a long time ago.

With Ye Rong's ability, it was impossible for her to know about the safe. In fact, Lan Ruofeng deliberately revealed this to Ye Rong.
